Mark Treated Apnea, Diabetes, Psoriasis, And Tinnitus

Childhood Battles with Pain and Infection

When pain is constant it feels normal. By age seven I was already in a doctor’s office for an abscess that stretched from hip to knee and wrapped around my thigh. Such outbreaks—and the ear infections that often hospitalized me—were routine. At twelve I was diagnosed with an undefined neutrophil disorder, told my immune system would never work properly and that endless hospital visits were inevitable.


Adolescence into Early Adulthood: Compounding Illness

At twenty a simple cold sore on my finger became septic, proving again how fragile my immunity was. A year later a shattered wrist immobilized me for four years, deepening depression and triggering rapid weight gain as I lived on cheap processed food. By November 2014, nearing forty, I was bitter, obese (BMI 43), a heavy smoker and newly burdened with Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea. Losing my driver’s licence after collapsing behind the wheel finally forced change.


Low-Carb Success and a New Problem

My wife and I joined a proven weight-loss program. In seven months I dropped nine stone, quit smoking and reversed every diagnosed condition, while she lost over six stone. We stayed low-carb, and despite official guidelines warning otherwise our health kept improving. Yet after two years of ketogenic eating my weight began to creep up again; psoriasis, otitis externa, tinnitus, constipation and constant hunger returned.


Discovering Keto-Carnivore

Late in 2017 stories of a zero-carb/keto-carnivore lifestyle caught my eye. I committed to thirty days of meat and water only. The change was immediate and profound, so I continued. Over time every lingering issue disappeared: Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, chronic abscesses, neutrophil disorder, psoriasis, herpes simplex, otitis externa, tinnitus, depression, aggression, constipation, bloating and low libido. After more than forty surgeries earlier in life, my body finally healed itself through diet.


Reflection

​Looking back I wish my mother had heeded the doctor who, in 1982, warned that sweets were fueling my illnesses. Decades later the keto-carnivore approach proved him right. I now live pain-free, medication-free and grateful for a lifestyle that restored the health I never knew as a child.

Rowan Improved Cardiovascular Health, Treated Arthritis

After struggling with weight loss and finding keto difficult to maintain, this person discovered the carnivore diet through Shawn Baker's Joe Rogan appearance in December 2017. They lost 36 pounds (from 216 to 180), eliminated arthritis in their left hand (which had a surgically reattached finger), normalized blood pressure from prehypertension, and experienced improved mental clarity and stress response.I was struggling trying to lose weight, and found keto so hard to stick to, so easy to fall off. I heard Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan and decided to look into it. I spent about 2 or 3 weeks checking out the info, and asking people on the Zeroing in on Health forum on Facebook numerous questions. After that, I was convinced it was worth trying keto-carnivore for a month. I began on the keto-carnivore diet on December 12th 2017. I've never even had to consider changing back. I was 216 lbs, and I am now 180. I had arthritis in my left hand, which hand had to have a finger surgically reattached to it after it was ripped off in an accident 13 years prior; but the arthritis went away after 2 weeks keto-carnivore. I had prehypertension, but my blood pressure (measured on three separate occasions) is normal. I feel better, I think clearer, and I respond to stress better than at any time in my life. ​I never intend to stop being a keto-carnivore.
